Adobe Media Encoder 2019 very slow

Hi Adobe. If you want to remote into my Win10 laptop I am happy to give you access.

seeing rendering times jump from typically 30mins to over 12 hours.

The laptop is only used for Premerier Pro and Encoder.

update: to encode a 22min video at 1920x1080 Preset Vimeo 1080 HD is now taking 16 hours!! This is crazy!

Attention ADOBE. The problem is you have blocked our use of hardware acceleration on both After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder on the Mac OS system BUT NOT on the Win 10 system.  Why?

My Mac used to beat my Win 10 on encoding time by 20% using ""Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)".   I also had the option of "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal)"

NOW I have no choice on my Mac but to use grey-out "Mercury software only" on AE and AME.   Now an 8 min video takes 7 hours on AME instead of 2.5 hours.  On Win 10 (using hardware acceleration) it currently takes 2.8 hours.  There is nothing your poor subscribers can do about it and I pity the people making a living using Adobe who are desparately trying hacking remedies when the cancer is in the Adobe AE and AME software.

Are you kidding me??  Update my Mac AMD driver when they are made only for Win 10 and you need a Boot-camp procedure to pretend your Mac is a Win Os ?   And anyway, I believe Apple updates the video drivers with its OS updates.   ADOBE STOP DEVELOPING new overlapping software trying to attract sales to amateurs and FIX these bread and butter apps which are destroying professionals.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) 

2.2 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB

Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

Mac High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G13035)

This is real embarrassing! Lately I don't update any of the adobe products. Today I made the mistake updating the media encoder hoping that the renders would speed up... I only got crashes and the rendering from AE wouldn't even start. I have an Intel i9-7900X CPU with SSD, 32GB of RAM and a GeForce RTX 2080. Epic fail Adobe!

With the new updates my rendering gave me 3 Blue Screens of Death when rendering a video. 3! That's crazy. Additionally, I set a 1 hour long H.264 video to render from premiere into AME. Usually a video this size takes about an hour and a half to render on my PC. But instead, under the latest rounds of updates I found myself at 8 hours elapsed, only 10% of the video rendered, and with 41 hours left to go. NOT COOL ADOBE!

I had a deadline on this video so I knew I had to go back to the version of adobe that worked for me. Here's the steps I took that worked for me.

1. Went to Adobe CC suite and found Premiere

2. Clicked the dropdown arrow and went Manage > Other Versions > Installed back to version 13.0.3 because I knew this version worked.

3. Went to Adobe CC suite and found Media Encoder

4. Clicked the drop down arrow and went to Manage > Other Versions > Installed back to version 13.0.2

5. So now that my adobe products were downgraded I needed to downgrade my adobe project file so it could then work in this latest version. So I went here: Premiere Project Downgrader - Free prproj Version Convert

6. Got the downgraded version, opened it up no problem, saved the new copy and exported, with render times as expected and back to normal.

and HVEC seems fine too. So looks like a h264 thing

I'm getting crushed as well. Running imac pro with an egpu and its suddenly crazy slow on h264 exports.

Barely accessing both gpus. This sucks. worked totally fine before update!

#adobe fix this fast!

I am also having this problem on the Windows version, since the last update I basically can't render videos as Media Encoder 2019 is too slow. I use this professionally and it is unacceptable for such an expensive suite of software.

Strangely my workmate is using the same version of the app with the same files and isn't reporting any issues, and yes I have all the latest drivers and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps.

This is yet another case of Adobes lazy quality control.

Absolute disaster Adobe. Thank you for making my life a nightmare.

Any news here? Same problem here on Windows 10. No one of that suggestions worked.

I have dozens of sequences to export and can't queue them on AME while keep working with Premiere (or keep sleeping). Instead, I've to stop everything and export one by one on PP. This is unacceptable, like the fella above wrote it.

Adobe, first post of this thread was in NOVEMBER. We're in MAY. Meanwhile, where are you guys?!

Windows 10 PC, Intel i7 8700, 16GB RAM. I was rendering one minute for every minute of video on AME, but now it goes from 3 to 16 hrs for a 5-20 minute video, what is going on?

This is what my CPU and GPU utilisation looks like -when it is not on a ~20% spike-, you can see it lays on an outstanding overclock of ZERO and ONE percentile.
